Book SynopsisAn estimated 30,000 children are born in the USA with congenital heart disease each year, two thirds of which will require corrective surgery. Medical advances have formed a trend of operating on newborns rather than waiting until the child is older. Ten years ago, the mortality for these operationswas 60% to 70%. That percentage has dropped to 2%. This specialized book explores the basic mechanisms of neurologic injury associated with congenital heart surgery while covering the emerging technologies for assessment of neurologic integrity and injury. The text also highlights the current and future techniques for reducing and preventing these injuries, and reviews the pertinent medicolegal issues.Trade ReviewI found this book very interesting and informative. I recommend this book to END technologist who monitor pediatric cardiac patients and who would like to better understand the mechanisms of brain injury to the patient population during surgery... The book raises many questions and provides a great resource for determining what additional studies are required to ensure the most positive post-surgical outcomes.

Book SynopsisHighly Commended, BMA Medical Book Awards 2015Since the first edition of this book was published in 2004, the management of congenital heart disease has continued to evolve at a rapid pace. Not only have new operations been developed and expanded, such as the intra/extracardiac conduit Fontan and the double root translocation for corrected transposition, but in addition, diagnostic methodsparticularly cardiac CT and MRIhave been dramatically transformed. Understanding of the genetic basis of congenital heart disease and the embryology of cardiac development has progressed even more rapidly. What has not changed is that optimal outcomes for children and adults with congenital heart disease can only be achieved by a collaborative team effort. The team includes not only congenital cardiac surgeons but also pediatric cardiac nurses, pediatric cardiologists, perfusion and respiratory technicians, pediatric cardiac intensivists, pediatric cardiac anesthesiolTrade Review"… [A] very comprehensive book, characterized by clarity of description, logic of presentation, and attention to detail…Dr. Jonas has significantly expanded on the treatment of some subjects…and has chosen to include several entirely new chapters…on anesthesia, pediatric cardiac intensive care, and pediatric cardiovascular nursing care, in addition to mechanical circulatory support and cardiac transplantation…the e-version of the book includes hyperlinks to a series of narrated operative videos…that are of extremely high quality…Every aspect of the Second Edition builds on the foundation established with the First Edition.

Book SynopsisAs pediatric cardiology becomes more and more neonatal cardiology and even fetal cardiology, Neonatal Heart Disease by Robert M. Freedom, MO, Leland N. Benson, MD, and Jeffrey F. Smallhorn, MB is extraordinarily timely. Neonatal Heart Disease consists of 50 chapters by 25 distinguished contributors and is a worthy successor to The Neonate With Congenital Heart Disease by Richard D. Rowe, MD and his colleagues (1968 and 1981). The first ~dition of this book in 1968 established Richard D. Rowe, MD as the father of neonatal cardiology. As most pediatric cardiologists now know, Dick Rowe died on January 18, 1988 after a brief illness. It will therefore come as no surprise that the present volume is dedicated to this great and gentle man. Nor will it come as a surprise that I have been asked to devote this Foreword to Richard D. Rowe, MD, pioneering neonatal cardiologist and incomparable personal friend. What can one say about Dick Rowe? Well, there are at least two very different tales.

Book Synopsis??This is the first major textbook to address both computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) cardiac imaging of adults forthe diagnosis and treatment ofcongenital heart disease (CHD). Since the introduction of faster CT scanners, there has been tremendous advancement in the diagnosis of CHD in adults. This is mostly due to the higher spatial resolution of CT compared to MR, which enables radiologists to create moredetailed visualizations of cardiac anatomic structures, leading to the discovery of anomalous pathologies often missed by conventional MR imaging. This bookis unique in highlighting the advantages of both CT and MR for the diagnosis of CHD in adults, focusing on the complementary collaboration between the two modalities that is possible. Chapters include discussions of case examples, clinical data, MR and CT image findings, and correlative cadaveric pictures. The chaptersfocus not only on the diagnosis of the primary problem, but also give readers information on viTrade ReviewFrom the reviews:“This book illustrates the evolving use of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in congenital heart disease. The increased number of adults with congenital heart diseases has resulted in a need for better imaging modalities, which this book provides. The intended audience includes CT/MR technicians, cardiology fellows, cardiac surgeons, cardiologists, and structural heart disease specialists.” (Jonathan Bonilla, Doody’s Book Reviews, June, 2014)Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisMagnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a technique used in biomedical imaging and radiology to visualize internal structures of the body. Because MRI provides excellent contrast between different soft tissues, the technique is especially useful for diagnostic imaging of the brain, muscles, and heart.In the past 20 years, MRI technology has improved significantly with the introduction of systems up to 7 Tesla (7 T) and with the development of numerous post-processing algorithms such as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), functional MRI (fMRI), and spectroscopic imaging. From these developments, the diagnostic potentialities of MRI have improved impressively with an exceptional spatial resolution and the possibility of analyzing the morphology and function of several kinds of pathology.Given these exciting developments, the Magnetic Resonance Imaging Handbook: Imaging of the Cardiovascular System, Thorax, and Abdomen is a timely addition to the growing bTable of ContentsCoronary and Perfusion Imaging with Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance: Current State of the Art.
